Zone 2 training, which operates at around 60-70% of maximum heart rate, is ideal for building aerobic capacity and endurance, as well as improving metabolic health. A key component of this is mitochondrial function. By training in Zone 2, we not only increase the number of mitochondria in our muscle cells, but also improve their function through processes such as mitophagy. This is crucial for maintaining good metabolic health and for preventing lifestyle diseases such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes. In this episode, we discuss how Zone 2 training can help you achieve increased endurance in everyday life, better fat burning, and reduce the risk of injury and disease. We explore how this form of training can make the body better at handling both fat and carbohydrates as energy sources, giving you more stable energy throughout the day. Enjoy!
